Interestingly enough it looks like the SNP has lost quite a lot of ground in Scotland. Can anyone explain why?

Allegations of fraud and exit of their top leadership. The person taking over backed a slate of unpopular candidates from what I recall briefly skimming it as an outsider.

It's also exaggerated by FPTP.

This was the result of the 2019 election in Scotland.

A lot more seats proportional to votes.

So losing a small percentage they lose a lot of seats because they initially won so many by a small margin.
